Arianrhod is a martial arts expert and known for showing no mercy on the battlefield. She thinks of Lloyd, the main character in the Trails series following Trails in the Sky, as a formidable foe.

Screenshots show Arianrhod using Saint Technique Grand Cross, which captures her enemies in a massive tornado. Arianrhod also carries a massive spear in her hand, which she used to slay countless enemies.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Blue comes out for PSP on September 29 in Japan.

So. Crossbell in flames. Thanks, seemingly, to Ouroboros and Arianrhod.

Welp.

I swear if she starts busting out about “rengoku no hadou” like a CERTAIN OTHER Apostle of the Snake I can think of I’m probably just gonna throw my hands up and let her kill me (and I’ll also say that there’d be like no real difference between The Society and the Cult of DG, so I kind of doubt it).

So full of anticipation for this one. If only America was more caught up on this series, because god damn it is going to take years for us to get to this game at this rate.

i hope this game get a localization sooner, i don’t want to wait for 4 years just like sora no kiseki

It’s more in the style of something like Power Stone, using the Ys Seven engine. Fights feel a lot like Ys Seven but without a party of three, and with some additions to the engine like jumping.

Awesome sound and some nice art in the loading and story screens, but the core gameplay is… well, it’s not really going to satisfy as a top notch fighting game. More of an Ys Seven “arena” novelty, with extra Falcom characters from multiple Ys and Legend of Heroes games.

And anyway, like I said… it’s import friendly! There is a story mode, but it’s a dream match story in an action/fighting game, so it’s not the same kind of need to understand what’s going on as you would have in a normal Ys or LoH game.

Ys vs Sora no Kiseki doesn’t need a localization, it’s very playable without any Japanese language skills and it’s region free. It’s also not that great of a game, so I’d much prefer Xseed to spend their time focusing on localizing the Sora/Zero/Ao no Kiseki games instead.

Nooooo hush thy ill mannered tongue; you spout lies. LIES. Thou would like to play the game in English so that I may understand the story plot and things of this nature….

Hehe… not that I wouldn’t buy a localized Ys vs. Sora, but if that was to cause delay or lack of release for any of the Sora no Kiseki games or their sequels it wouldn’t be worth it. Understanding the story is not really key to playing the fighting game, plus I think the Sora/Zero/Ao no Kiseki games are better games.

Still, it’s Falcom. Which by default makes it better than most stuff out there :)
